FTL meets King's Bounty
The other reviews go into the graphics and the setting so I'll just describe the gameplay. It's an FTL-alike where you need to transverse a series of linked nodes from left to right while being pursued by an enemy fleet. Each node has multiple planets that can be explored in any order you wish, but traveling between them still costs fuel. At the rightmost node is a boss fight. Encounters are FTL-style multiple-choice questions with MUCH more voluminous lore, but a "safe" option if one of your command officers has the right perk. Planetary away missions are hands-off dice rolls based on the command officer's perks. Combat happens in pauseable real time on a hex grid. Both capital ships sit on opposite sides of the map and deploy strike craft. The map is strewn with asteroids and automated turrets and other terrain that can be used strategically to tilt the odds in your favor. Strike craft come in three basic forms (fighters, frigates, and drones) with a basic rock/paper/scissors balance between them, in addition to long-range artillery cruisers. When a wing of strike craft is destroyed it isn't gone permanently, but they are out for several crucial seconds and when they come back it's at half HP, so getting first blood gives you a major advantage. Meanwhile the capital ships are slowly charging up their big cannons to either shoot each other or nuke the enemy's strike craft. The closest analogues for how gameplay works is a cross between Bad North and King's Bounty. Later in the game you acquire higher-tier versions of strike craft with random bonuses like teleportation or cloaking devices, or my favorite, a version of drones that cause a huge area explosion after they're destroyed so it's actually to their advantage to get the half-HP penalty. Likewise your capital ship gets bigger and nastier weapons that do more damage in different hex shapes to better give your strike craft a clear runway to the enemy capital ship's vitals. I'm out of review space. It's good!
